BJP will ef­fec­tively wipe them off: CM Yogi on BSP-SP al­liance

Ut­tar Pradesh Chief Min­is­ter Yogi Adityanath on Sun­day claimed the re­cently-forged al­liance be­tween the Sa­ma­jwadi Party and Bahu­jan Sa­maj Party will have no im­pact on the pol­i­tics of the state, and that the BJP will "ef­fec­tively wipe them off". Speak­ing at a pro­gramme here, Adityanath noted that the BSP-SP al­liance de­noted "casteist men­tal­ity" and "an­ar­chic el­e­ments". "The (SP-BSP) al­liance means giv­ing power to peo­ple who are cor­rupt, an­ar­chic el­e­ments and have casteist men­tal­ity. This al­liance will have no im­pact on the pol­i­tics of the state. "It is good that both these par­ties have come to­gether. It will help us to ef­fec­tively wipe them off," he as­serted. Mean­while, Shiv­pal Singh Ya­dav on Sun­day said that his Pra­gatisheel Sa­ma­jwadi Party-Lo­hia (PSPL) is ready to form an al­liance with the Congress in Ut­tar Pradesh for the com­ing Lok Sabha elec­tions. In an ex­clu­sive in­ter­view to ANI, PSPL chief Ya­dav said the SP and the BSP al­liance is a ‘Thug­band­han’ (al­liance among thugs). “This al­liance is a ‘Thug­band­han’ and is for money,” added Ya­dav.
